Using it for something.
Being a two plate state, as much as I wanted to, I couldn't put the Corvette filler on the front, and have been looking at it for three years sitting on a shelf in my storage shed.
I put it to good use today for the fireplace in the den.
I didn't realize that old frame that once held a clock, look like a tire, at least from a distance.

Pretty creative way to used the plate filler cover.

I live in a two plate state, too. I have not used a front plate for twenty years, have been pulled over several times and the cops have never mentioned the missing front plate.

I live in a two plate state, and I had never been pulled over. But I got pulled over today for it. Luckily just got the warning from him, but I was honest about it and said it is just one of those things.
The guy was cool, laughed about it and said have a nice day.

I'll be honest here- kind of tacky to have this in your living room rather than in the garage or an office room. Kind of reminds me of college dorm-room swag/"art".
But to each their own.

Think I will take the suggestion to put some kind of border around the mounting edge.

I had a LEO tell me I probably will never get hassled for no front plate and I don't. No front plate on my DD regular car either. No problems with either car. Maybe the advantage is living in a rural area where not much really happens like more congested urban areas.
